Respect your teachers

This is with reference to Ramsha Mujib’s article “Respect your teachers”, (YW, September 29, 2023). Teachers are like our second parents because of their hard work and effort in teaching us.

Instead of showing them love and respect, we sometimes treat them poorly. They are the ones who help us reach our goals, so it is our responsibility to always be loving and respectful toward them, even if they have been strict or have scolded us.

Wonder craft

This is regarding the section Wonder Craft “Pencil-inspired Teachers’ Day surprise” by the Crafter (YW, September 29). I appreciate the writer for coming up with amazing DIYs that we can easily try and make at home. The craft for Teachers’ Day was yet another amazing DIY and I made it and gave it to my teacher.

Teach others to learn

This is regarding the cover article “Teach others to learn” by Ambreen Arshad (YW, October 7). The article provides a comprehensive explanation of effective learning methods from both practical and scientific perspectives. Learning can often be challenging for students, but the writer simplified the process and offered excellent strategies for learning.

The key concept is to teach what you’ve learned to others, like a friend or family member. This approach boosts our confidence, improves our understanding and enhances our social skills, making us better at interacting with others. The article is quite helpful for individuals facing difficulties in their learning journey.

II

The article “Teach others to learn” by Ambreen Arshad, sheds light on the importance and relation of learning and teaching. I agree with the writer that teaching is a great way to learn. It helps us explore and understand things better. By teaching, we share knowledge with others and it gives us a deeper understanding of things that we usually don’t pay attention to in our routine life.

The power of guidance

This is regarding the story “The power of guidance” by Rameen Imtiaz Kaka (YW, September 29). The writer elaborates on how teachers are the best guides for students. Their teachings and guidance help us in every step of our lives, whether in school, college or any other place. Moreover, they support us in the times when we are disappointed with something.
